Nick Fairley’s marijuana charges dropped

According to Justin Rogers of MLive.com, prosecutors dismissed the marijuana charges, Fairley’s first of the offseason. DUI and reckless driving charges from a separate incident led to a six-month suspended sentence, a year of probation and a fine, though his attorney entered him in a pre-trial diversion program which could reduce the sentence.

During the marijuana arrest, police found marijuana cigarettes in Fairley’s car when he was stopped for speeding through a subdivision. A friend claimed responsibility for the drugs, making it a rare win for the “it’s not my weed” defense.

While Fairley could still be punished by the league, his first-time offender status will help him.

“Fairley passed a drug test shortly after the arrest and the prosecution felt they would be unable to prove the marijuana belonged to him.”

Does anybody really care about the Lions enough to hate them? Except their own fans?
